Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
One year ago today, I walked into a gym. Scared out of my mind, my face masked in weariness. Worried I wasn’t ‘good enough’ to be there. Yet, I walked in anyway. Ready to find a strength buried deep inside me. I was tired. Sad. Empty. I felt like I was walking in fear. Every […]
Y’all (see I’m practicing my Texas words)… I’m at the airport, where I’m delayed, headed to the IF:Gathering in Austin, Texas where I get to meet up with my longest friend in life and meet a whole bunch of new friends too! I’m soooooooo excited. Which might explain this punchy post. Anyhoo…since I didn’t find […]
Here’s the thing…when your middle schooler usually wants nothing to do with you, hardly shares anything with you, certainly does what he can to avoid being seen with you…will rarely give you a hug or a smile… And then when you go to check on him in the basement and he’s playing video games […]
To the mamas that are crying this morning…you’re not alone. To the mamas who are angry…you’re not alone. To the mamas who are lonely…you’re not alone. To the mamas who feel unappreciated…you’re not alone. To the mamas who feel they’ve lost their way…you’re not alone. To the mamas who don’t have time for a shower […]
Many people ask about this little man, my fighter. He’s not so little really…but in my heart he’s still my baby. ANYHOO…as an update to this (Post by Life’s A Disco Ball), I just wanted to share how hard he worked at his swim meet this weekend. He swam 10 events in two days. And YOU GUYS…he […]
Fighters. It’s what we are. I’ve never really thought of myself as one before. Because we’ve all been through stuff. We all have our troubles, challenges, hardships. There isn’t a single person on this planet that hasn’t. So me making it from one day to the next, doesn’t strike me as anything out of the […]
Oh my friends. It’s the New Year! Have you heard? And you know what that means, right? The NEW YOU! The first of January hits and suddenly we’re feeling like we need to radically transform who we are, what we do and how we do it. We make resolutions and plans to transform ourselves […]
Listen y’all. This is what I’m doing. I’m starting my new year focused on being kind to myself. And that means I’m home, in yoga pants and flannel shirt. On New Year’s Eve. With no plans. Other than eating alcohol infused cupcakes from my favorite cupcakery. I’m going to attempt to quiet the negative and […]
The Undone CHRISTmas part two. That’s what we’ve got here. You see, gingerbread houses are meant for eating. I finally figured that out. I know…it took me a while. Anyhoo…as I mentioned in my last post, The Undone CHRISTmas, I’m learning the practice of letting go. Letting go of this whole perfection thing that adds so much […]
You know, every year I say to myself, ‘I’m getting my Christmas cards ordered before Thanksgiving so I can fill them out Thanksgiving weekend and get them in the mail on Dec. 1st!’ And every year, I feel like I fail because I don’t. Seriously. Every. Darn. Year. And you know, the only person who […]
